What prevents filmmakers from placing protection for participants, audiences and film teams at the heart of our documentary practice?
Too often, documentary filmmakers are stretched for time and funding and must navigate complex ethical dilemmas in their filmmaking with little or no support. This panel examines practical approaches to these challenges by exploring learnings from the recent Cost of Docs Survey from The Whickers, the experiences of filmmakers participating in Film In Mind’s Film Supervision Pilot, and OKRE’s experience of supporting collaboration with academic experts to benefit contributors and filmmakers. It offers a comprehensive 360° look at the industry's approach to harm prevention and protection in production.
